Potomac Appalachian Trail Club

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, or (PATC), is a volunteer organization that works to maintain hiking trails in the Washington D.C. area. Originally founded in 1927 to protect and develop the local section of the then new Appalachian Trail, the PATC has since expanded its mission to oversee over 1,000 miles of trails, 34 shelters and 32 cabins in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.. The PATC currently has a 7,000 person membership, and relies almost exclusively on volunteer labor to pursue its mission.
